It does not appear to be possible to create a widget that allows for taking handwritten notes directly on the Home Screen (due to the fact that you need to be able to swipe left/right to get to different pages on your Home Screen). Please vote here if you’re interested in a widget that shows a particular note on your Home Screen (and allows you to open it quickly to edit it).

Jepp, that's basically what I'd consider as sufficient enough :) Currently, I have to rely on at least one Samsung Notes note which is placed on my Homescreen e.g. as my daily todo-list. It's totally fine if a click on the widget opens up the note in-app, as long as the widget updates itself afterwards as well.

So my use case is: some notes are for my daily "business" and I want to have them within my viewport ON MY HOMESCREEN. Therefore I'd be super happy with a widget which shows a distinct note.

Please encourage your favorite cloud storage provider (i.e. Google Drive) to fully support the Android Storage Access Framework (as stated in the above letter). This will not only help us to better support backup and restore to ANY cloud app, but will help the ecosystem as a whole.
